Knysna Municipality and SANParks officials joined the Judah Square Rastafarian community on Monday, September 3 in the official launch of Arbor Week.

Melany Barrath, people and conservation practitioner for the Garden Route National Park’s Knysna area said that the theme for this year’s Arbor Week, ‘Our Forests, Our Future’“fitted in well with the order of the day”.

The event provided the perfect platform for the official signing of the contractual lease agreement between Knysna Municipality and Judah Square Rastafarian community for a piece of land opposite the Rastafarian village to be used as a medicinal plant nursery in future.
